Ramanujar Birthday Today

Two weeks back I was watching a video about Ramanujar one of the Chief Architect in spreading Vaishanavisam and in the video they mentioned importance of visting Sripermabathur on the birthday of Ramanujar. By God grace I had a chance to visit Sripermabathur today(23-Jul-2006). We spend more than 3 hours in the temple and huge turn out at the temple from various cross sections of the people. The good thing is that we got the blessing of Ramanujar and Andal. I really admire Ramanujar for the work he had done for Vaishanava community. I also visited Thirumazhi one of the important 108 Vaishanav temples. One of thing that impressed me about Ramanujar is that he visited his guru called Nambi 18 times to get know the about a slogan which can bring happiness to the entire world. The guru told the slogan to Ramanujar after his 18th visit and told him not to tell it anyone and warned he might go to hell if he reveals the slogan. Ramanujar after hearing the slogan went to the top of the temple and told the slogan to the people who has gathered there. I think Ramanujar understood the importance of Information Sharing and showed the way for the world.I was blessed to visit Ramanujar birthday today. I suggest if people get a chance please visit this place.
